Request for a project I am working on...

I didn't downvote and I don't think you broke any rules, but maybe I can share a perspective here.

This is a schtick that's been (over)done by feminists already. Any MRA version of it comes off as reactionary and we're well behind the times with it anyway. It's a sort of obvious attempt to keep up with the proverbial Jones's.

In principle, I think it's a great idea to put flesh and blood and real human experiences behind the issues we talk about here. But, I think the mechanism you're proposing will come off as derivative and weak.

Now, if you come up with another format, count me in.

Like /u/BlindPelican said, I agree with what you're doing here man. It's awesome. But the format isn't friendly to the issues we face, as oftentimes we need to argue and flesh out the problem itself to impede the incoming flow of "men whining lolz."

I already know of ones in regards to men having issues that don't deal with the MRA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpMc4ta6XAw

They may not feel the need for the men's movement, but it certainly highlights why many here feel a need for it.
